In nuclear extract of HeLa cells two proteins were identified having the specific binding activity to cloned 1.8kb fragment of human satellite DNA III (HS3). One of the satellite binding proteins (SBP1) purified by column chromatography using DEAE-, phospho- and DNA-cellulose steps interacted also with adenovirus 5 replication enhancer (ARE), another protein (SBP2) was separated during phosphocellulose chromatography from ARE-binding protein. It is suggested that SBP1 is possibly identical to the nuclear factor I purified earlier from the nuclear extract of HeLa cells by other authors. 相似文献

Interactions between a satellite DNA fragment (SH3, 1.8 kb) cloned in pBR325 plasmid and DEAE-protein fractions from human lymphocytes treated with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (TPA) have been studied by filtration technique through nitrocellulose filters. The 0.3 M fraction was found to have a protein which binds SH3 DNA specifically. Cytogenetic studies have shown an increased frequency of chromosome endoreduplications which may be due to the binding of TPA-induced protein to centromeres. 相似文献

The presence of protein or complex of proteins that specifically bind to human satellite 3 (HS3) was shown during investigations of the nuclear matrix. The specificity of binding of HS3 was shown by using nuclear matrix immobilized on nitrocellulose. The activity disappeared after extractions of the nuclear matrix. The presence of specific activity in low salt extract was shown by gel retardation assay with whole HS3 fragment. All the subfragments of HS3 after Sau3A restriction (1 kb, 0.36 kb, 0.41 kb) also retarded in the mixture with this protein extract. DNA-protein complexes were stable even in the presence of a 1000-fold excess of competitive DNA. These data are discussed in the frame of hypotheses about the three dimensional organization of interphase chromatin. 相似文献

The locus control region is required for high-level, position-independent expression of mammalian beta-globin genes. It is marked by five major DNase hypersensitive sites (HSs) in a 16 kb region of chromatin, and the protein-DNA complexes that form these HSs may interact in a holocomplex that carries out the full function of the locus control region. Previous studies showed that a large rabbit DNA fragment containing both HS2 and HS3 in their native sequence context and spacing produced a much larger increase in expression of a linked reporter gene than the sum of the largest effects observed with DNA fragments containing HS2 or HS3 individually. To test whether this reflected a synergistic interaction between the 200-400 bp cores of the HSs or if this effect required additional sequences outside the cores, combinations of different restriction fragments containing HS2 or HS3 were tested for their ability to increase the expression of a hybrid epsilon-globin-luciferase reporter gene in transfected K562 cells. The results show that the human HS2 and HS3 cores do not interact either additively or synergistically with the reporter gene when juxtaposed, and separation by spacer DNA has little effect on their function. Fragments of human DNA containing cores plus flanking sequences for HS3 or HS2 show an additive effect in combination, whereas homologous fragments of rabbit DNA containing HS3 and HS2 interact synergistically. At least part of this difference localizes to the rabbit DNA fragment containing HS3, which can interact synergistically with the human DNA fragment containing HS2. The region 5' to the HS3 core plays a role both in the cooperative interaction observed with the rabbit DNA fragment and the domain-opening observed with the human DNA. A minor DNase HS maps to this region, and the pattern of sequence conservation is consistent with some difference in function between species. 相似文献

cDNA cloning,expression pattern and RNA binding analysis of human selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) binding protein 2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Selenocysteine and selenoprotein synthesis require a complex molecular machinery in mammals. Among the key players is the RNA-protein complex formed by the selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) binding protein (SBP2) and the SECIS element, an RNA hairpin in the 3' untranslated regions of selenoprotein messenger RNAs (mRNAs). We have isolated the DNA complementary to mRNA of the human SBP2, enabling us to establish that it differs from a previously reported human SBP2-like protein. Examination of the expression pattern revealed that the human SBP2 protein is encoded by a 4 kb long mRNA that is over-expressed in testis. Compared to the rat SBP2 sequence, the human SBP2 protein displays two highly conserved domains with 92 and 95% amino acid identity, the latter one containing the RNA binding domain. The inter-domain section carries 55% sequence identity, the remainder of the SBP2 sequences showing about 65% identity, values lower than expected for two mammalian proteins. Interestingly, we could show that the binding of human SBP2 to the SECIS RNA is stimulated by the selenoprotein-specialized elongation translation factor mSelB/eEFsec. 相似文献

We report the identification and characterization of a family of repeated restriction fragments whose molecular organization is apparently specific to the human X chromosome. This fragment, identified as an ethidium bromide-staining 2.0 kilobase (kb) band in BamHI-digested DNA from a Chinese hamster-human somatic cell hybrid containing a human X chromosome, has been cloned into pBR325 and characterized. The 2.0 kb repeated family has been assigned to the Xp11 leads to Xq12 region on the X by Southern blot analysis of somatic cell hybrids and is predominantly arranged in tandem clusters of up to seven 2.0 kb monomers. Homologous DNA sequences, not organized as 2.0 kb BamHI fragments, are found elsewhere on the X chromosome and on at least some autosomes, but are not found on the Y chromosome. From a dosing experiment using various amounts of the cloned repeat, we estimate that there are 5,000-7,500 copies of the 2.0 kb BamHI repeat per haploid genome. Since the vast majority, if not all, of these are confined to the X chromosome, this repeated DNA family must account for 5-10% of all X chromosome DNA and must constitute the major sequence component of the pericentromeric region of the X. 相似文献

The gene for human apolipoprotein (apo) A-II has been isolated from a human genomic DNA library. The cloned fragment was approximately 14 kilobase-pair (kb) long, and extended about 9.0 kb upstream as well as 3.5 kb downstream from the apoA-II gene, which was contained within a 3.1 kb HindIII fragment of human DNA. The complete nucleic acid sequence of the apoA-II gene has been determined, establishing that the apoA-II gene is interrupted by three intervening sequences of 182, 293, and 395 bp. The second intron is of particular interest, because it contains a 33 bp sequence of alternating G and T residues very close to the 3' splice site which has the potential to form a left handed Z-helix structure in vivo. A restriction fragment length polymorphism 3' from the apoA-II gene has been detected which may serve as a marker for the long arm of chromosome 1 in linkage analyses. 相似文献

The human beta-globin Locus Control Region (LCR) has two important activities. First, the LCR opens a 200 kb chromosomal domain containing the human epsilon-, gamma- and beta-globin genes and, secondly, these sequences function as a powerful enhancer of epsilon-, gamma- and beta-globin gene expression. Erythroid-specific, DNase I hypersensitive sites (HS) mark sequences that are critical for LCR activity. Previous experiments demonstrated that a 1.9 kb fragment containing the 5' HS 2 site confers position-independent expression in transgenic mice and enhances human beta-globin gene expression 100-fold. Further analysis of this region demonstrates that multiple sequences are required for maximal enhancer activity; deletion of SP1, NF-E2, GATA-1 or USF binding sites significantly decrease beta-globin gene expression. In contrast, no single site is required for position-independent transgene expression; all mice with site-specific mutations in 5' HS 2 express human beta-globin mRNA regardless of the site of transgene integration. Apparently, multiple combinations of protein binding sites in 5' HS 2 are sufficient to prevent chromosomal position effects that inhibit transgene expression. 相似文献

Fusion of the Chinese hamster stably transformed Tk+ cells containing chromosomally integrated plasmid with a fragment of human satellite III DNA (HS3), with mitomycin C-treated human cells (B-lymphoma, line Raji) results in amplification and excision of heterogeneous plasmid material from hamster chromosomes. Some of these plasmids contain HS3. Functional activity of HS3 in the initiation of DNA replication is shown in transient transfection experiments. The results indicate that mitomycin C induces in human cells some trans-acting factors (possibly proteins) activating a replication origin within HS3 DNA and leading to plasmid replication in situ and their excision from chromosomes. 相似文献

The three CD3 genes on human chromosome 11q23 encode proteins (gamma, delta and epsilon) which form part of the antigen receptor on T lymphocytes. All three genes are clustered within 50 kb and are activated approximately contemporaneously during the early stages of T cell ontogeny. In order to pinpoint potential regulatory sequences important for locus activation and tissue-specific gene expression, the chromatin structure of almost 90 kb of this region has been probed in five cell lines using the endonuclease pancreatic DNase I. A set of DNase I hypersensitive (HS) sites has been defined in T cell chromatin, five of which were strong and not found in non-T cells, with the exception of the erythroleukaemia cell line K562, in which three sites were weakly expressed, correlating with a low level of delta mRNA. The subset of five HS sites map close to the CD3 genes and lie in regions which contain elements of defined function: the gamma promoter; the delta promoter and its 3' enhancer; and the epsilon promoter and its 3' enhancer. Since no further major T cell-restricted HS sites lie within the 90kb of the CD3 locus analysed, these five regions may contain all the sequences important for CD3 gene expression. 相似文献

The human cystatin C gene (CST3), mutated in hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy,is located on chromosome 20 总被引:9,自引:4,他引:5

Summary Hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy has recently been shown to be caused by a point mutation in the cystatin C gene. To determine the chromosomal localization of the gene, 20 human-rodent somatic cell hybrids and a fulllength cystatin C cDNA probe were used. Southern blot analysis of BamHI digested cell hybrid DNA revealed that the probe recognizes a 10.6 kb human specific fragment and that this fragment cosegregates with human chromosome 20. Therefore, the human cystatin C gene (CST3) was assigned to chromosome 20. 相似文献

We have previously reported that DNase I hypersensitive site 5 (5′HS5) of the human β-globin locus control region functions as a chromatin insulator in stable transfection assays. In this report we show that a 3.2 kb DNA fragment containing the entire 5′HS5 region can protect a position-sensitive Aγ-globin gene against position effects in transgenic mice. Bracketing is required for function of 5′HS5 as an insulator. The 5′HS5 insulator operates in adult as well as in embryonic murine erythroid cells. The insulator has no significant stimulatory effects of its own. These results indicate that 5′HS5 can function as a chromatin insulator in vivo. 相似文献

A 330 kb CENP-A binding domain and altered replication timing at a human neocentromere 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is an essential centromere-specific histone H3 homologue. Using combined chromatin immunoprecipitation and DNA array analysis, we have defined a 330 kb CENP-A binding domain of a 10q25.3 neocentromere found on the human marker chromosome mardel(10). This domain is situated adjacent to the 80 kb region identified previously as the neocentromere site through lower-resolution immunofluorescence/FISH analysis of metaphase chromosomes. The 330 kb CENP-A binding domain shows a depletion of histone H3, providing evidence for the replacement of histone H3 by CENP-A within centromere-specific nucleosomes. The DNA within this domain has a high AT-content comparable to that of alpha-satellite, a high prevalence of LINEs and tandem repeats, and fewer SINEs and potential genes than the surrounding region. FISH analysis indicates that the normal 10q25.3 genomic region replicates around mid-S phase. Neocentromere formation is accompanied by a replication time lag around but not within the CENP-A binding region, with this lag being significantly more prominent to one side. The availability of fully sequenced genomic markers makes human neocentromeres a powerful model for dissecting the functional domains of complex higher eukaryotic centromeres. 相似文献

The organization of two related subfamilies of a human tandemly repeated DNA is chromosome specific 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Summary Several clones containing clusters of repetitive elements were isolated from a human chromosome 22 specific library. An EcoRI-XhoI fragment of 860bp was subcloned and was shown to belong to a family of tandemly repeated DNA linked to the Y-specific 3.4 kb HaeIII band. This probe hybridizes to several sets of sequences or subfamilies. The most abundant subfamily is a 1.8kb long sequence containing one EcoRV site, and in most repeats, one AvaII and one KpnI site. Using human-rodent somatic cell hybrid DNA, we have shown that this cluster is present on human chromosome 9 although presence on chromosome 15 is not excluded. Another subfamily, 6.1 kb long, appears to be exclusive of chromosome 16. By in situ hybridization with metaphasic chromosomes, these sets of repeats were mapped to the constitutive heterochromatin of a few chromosomes. Coexistence in one genome of long tandem repeats of distinct organization but similar length may represent the outcome of a continuous process of fixation of variant sequences. Homologous repeats are also abundant in four higher primate genomes (Orangutan, gorilla, chimpanzee, and man) but absent in other primates (African green monkey, rhesus monkey, baboon, and mouse lemur). 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is clearly a factor in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, but its mechanism of action remains obscure. One possibility is that the HBV integration event alters the expression of a nearby growth-regulatory cellular gene. A 9-kilobase (kb) DNA fragment containing an HBV insert plus flanking cellular sequences was cloned from a hepatoma specimen from Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Restriction mapping of the insert revealed a large inverted repeat structure consisting of both viral sequences (encompassing all of the core and pre-S regions and portions of the X and S genes) and at least 3 kb of unique cellular sequences. The virus-cell junction mapped 11 nucleotides from the DR1 region, in a position within the HBV X gene and included in the cohesive overlap region. A probe generated from 1.0 kb of the flanking cellular DNA mapped the viral insert to chromosome 17 in the region designated 17p11.2-17p12, which is near the human proto-oncogene p53. Sequence data from a portion of the flanking cellular DNA revealed a stretch of approximately 70 base pairs that showed highly significant homology with a conserved region of a number of functional mammalian DNAs, including the human autonomously replicating sequence 1 (ARS1). 相似文献

The pericentromeric region of the human X chromosome is characterized by a tandemly repeated family of 2.0 kilobasepair (kb) DNA fragments, initially revealed by cleavage of human DNA with the restriction enzyme BamHI. We report here the complete nucleotide sequence of a cloned member of the repeat family and establish that this X-linked DNA family consists entirely of alpha satellite DNA. Our data indicate that the 2.0 kb repeat consists of twelve alpha satellite monomers arranged in imperfect, direct repeats. Each of the alpha X monomers is approximately 171 basepairs (bp) in length and is 60-75% identical in sequence to previously described primate alpha satellite DNAs. The twelve alpha X monomers are 65-85% identical in sequence to each other and are organized as two adjacent, related blocks of five monomers, plus an additional two monomers also related to monomers within the pentamer blocks. Partial nucleotide sequence of a second, independent copy of the 2.0 kb BamHI fragment established that the 2.0 kb repeat is, in fact, the unit of amplification on the X. Comparison of the sequences of the twelve alpha X monomers allowed derivation of a 171 bp consensus sequence for alpha satellite DNA on the human X chromosome. These sequence data, combined with the results of filter hybridization experiments of total human DNA and X chromosome DNA, using subregions within the 2.0 kb repeat as probes, provide strong support for the hypothesis that individual human chromosomes are characterized by different alpha satellite families, defined both by restriction enzyme periodicity and by chromosome-specific primary sequence. 相似文献
